A new report, "The Changing Face of Historically Black Colleges and Universities,"
was released Thursday by the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate
School of Education and the Center for Minority Serving Institutions.
The report details the role of black colleges, outlines demographic
trends in enrollments and discusses educational and financial challenges
facing the institutions.

An all-time high of 69 percent of Hispanics graduating from high
school in 2012 enrolled in college that fall, according to analysis by the Pew Research Center. This is a greater proportion than that of white graduates from the same class, of whom 67 percent enrolled in college.
According to Pew, Hispanic college-going has seen a long-term
increase, especially since the recession hit, whereas enrollment by
white high school graduates has gradually declined since 2008.
